I bought mine a few years<br> ago at a National convention. Sat in on the full day Renner class and Lloyd<br> was giving a 30% discount on all Renner tools, to class participants.  What<br> a Deal.<br> I just clamp mine direct to my drill table after figuring the bore<br> distance. Rake and angles, are so simple to adjust. The hammers are held in<br> place nice and firm.<br> It only take's about an hour to do a whole set. Including set up time.<br> It's so easy to graduate the bore angles thro' the tenor section in 1<br> degree increments if needed.<br> Wally Brooks is one the best in the business at supplying pre bored<br> hammers. The Renner jig enables me to match his quality, with ease.<br> PS Renner has a price increase Jan 1st. So contact Lloyd if you are<br> thinking of taking the plunge.<br> Regards Roger</blockquote><br> If I am not mistaken Wally does the 'best in the business'  with_his_jig, no?<br> The only shortcoming is the back support but once it is replaced with a low<br> profile, thicker stock; it is certainly adequate.<br> <br> Renner has fine products, don't get me wrong.<br> </font><br> <div>Jon Page,   piano technician</div> <div>Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass.</div> <div><a href="mailto:jonpage@mediaone.net" EUDORA=AUTOURL>mailto:jonpage@mediaone.net</a></div> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </html>
